Working with Michelle was truly amazing! We got married on an actual bridge and instead of this being an obstacle, Michelle ensured it was the enchanting and incredible vision we hoped for. Now we look at the gorgeous photos and realize that we didn’t reel her there- a. gift from any photographer. At our reception, Michelle made all our guests comfortable- she wasn’t there to make them work. My mom has mentioned many times how much she enjoyed having her there with us and we could not be in more agreement! We have the wonderful memories our day that we wanted and are sure to go back to Michelle for more photos in the future! -

I had been in touch with COUNTLESS photographers during my search for the perfect person to capture our special day; as every bride does. Michelle's name was recommended to us around this time last year and we never looked back! We aren't exactly comfortable in front of the camera and we are a more introverted couple, but Michelle was so warm and made us feel so comfortable, that it was easy to forget we were taking photos! I love her authentic style of photographing and LOVED the fact that she was more focused on the candid's than posed uncomfortable photos'. Throughout the night Michelle stealthily made her way through the crowd snapping away at the memories being shared. We can't wait to see the rest of the day through her lens as we get photos back! -

I can't believe it's taken us this long to write this review! Michelle was an instrumental part of our wedding day and would 1000% recommend her for your photography needs. Our wedding pictures and day-after photos are absolutely stunning! All our family and friends agree.
Leading up to making our photographer decision, I had been following Michelle on Instagram and in awe of how she captures the feeling/moment so perfectly. I always felt like I was there! When it came time to choose a photographer, we sat our parents down and did a side-by-side comparison with another photographer. Michelle swept the vote!
Michelle is super passionate and professional and helped us put together a realistic... -

When I first met Michelle and she described herself as a "photography ninja", I assumed she meant the typical discreet, non-intrusive approach. And I honestly didn't value this much because, from experience with multiple friend and family weddings, every photographer says this and every photographer has still been noticeable. Michelle, however, is different. It wasn't until we received our wedding album that we realized capacity of her ninja-skills. From the heart of the dance floor, Michelle captured the most iconic moments - tie in the teeth limbo, a dirty dancing lift, a new definition given to Shout!'s "a little bit lower now". Not only this, she captured the overall atmosphere in the room - the joy on our friends... -

Jessica Sent on 11/08/2021Such an amazing photographer!
From the moment my husband and I looked through a sample book of Michelle's work at our chosen vendor, we knew we had to book her! Her professionalism and skill are clear in every picture. She was great to work with, and we'll always cherish the photos and beautiful album we have of our wedding day. Michelle cared about really capturing the moment instead of just trying to provide us with cookie-cutter wedding pictures. We cannot recommend her enough! Thank you, Michelle! :) -

Shannon Sent on 09/04/2021Great experience with Michelle!
Michelle did our engagement photos, our intimate wedding, and our big wedding (postponed due to covid). through the process Michelle was very professional and easy to work with. we had no idea how to pose or what to do behind the camera and Michelle guided us through the whole thing and all our pictures came out amazing, our family and friends are raving about them. She was very flexible and always got back to me right away with questions or concerns I had. All of our wedding photos came out so amazing I can't choose just one favorite. I don't think I'll be getting married again (2 weddings in 6 months is more than enough for me), but if I did, I would definitely hire Michelle Arlotta again! -

Michelle Arlotta is an all around fantastic human being. She is passionate about her craft and has spent over a decade in the wedding photography business. My wife and I found Michelle's work on instagram, and we were drawn to her ability to so uniquely and aptly capture the most delicate authentic moments. Michelle is truly a master of her craft. She is professional, courteous, thoughtful, considerate, and facilitates a very welcoming and comfortable environment in front of the camera. She conducts herself and her work with honesty and integrity. You would do well to consider her for your special event! Thank you, Michelle! -

We booked Michelle for my November wedding at the Lake Mohawk Country Club in Sparta NJ and I couldn't be happier with our choice. I was looking for a light and bright style and photographer that embraced candids and the fun of a reception and Michelle really delivered. Of course she does an amazing job with bridal portraits and set family shots but what really differentiates her from other photographers is her ability to capture the little moments that make a wedding day so special. Everyone will tell you that your wedding day goes by too fast (so true!) and it is such a relief to have so many great pictures to help us remember the whole day. I... -

My wife and I found Michelle while browsing through other couples photos from our venue. Both being in the creative industry, her more candid, conceptual style and use of lighting,is what really drew us to her work. We got in contact, and set up an initial meeting. After meeting and talking with Michelle, seeing more of her work in person, and discussing our wedding vision and specifics in great detail, we left knowing that she was 100% who we wanted to have shoot our special day.
Michelle has such a calm, cool vibe about her, that without realizing how long we were there, when we let to go home, we realized 3 hours had passed and it felt... -

Michelle was amazing! Not only are her pictures incredible, she worked with us to create a comprehensive timeline for the day. We were a little apprehensive about trying to fit in everywhere we wanted to get pictures and thanks to Michelle, we were able to squeeze in all the locations we wanted and didn't feel rushed or that we spent our whole day taking pictures. We loved working with Michelle! She is friendly and easygoing, honest and fun to work with. She really did a great job of telling our wedding day's story. -

Michelle is amazing! She really captures your true story. Her work is so authentic and she takes the time to really get to know her clients. I recommend her highly! All my friends and family constantly keep asking me who my photographer was and wish they had used her. -

Pictures were incredibly important to my husband and I as we navigated wedding planning, they're one of the few takeaways from this monumental day and after the fact, they give you a glimpse into the many moments you weren't a part of. As we review our pictures, we continue to see all of the stories of our day with the people we love most. Michelle captured our day so spectacularly, each photo beaming with joy, love, and emotion. She is an artist, with an unbelievable understanding of her craft and a style that is so genuine and real. Seamlessly and stealthily Michelle documented our day from place to place without ever getting in the way. Choosing a photographer is... -

Emma Sent on 11/19/2018Simply Amazing!
When choosing a photographer for our wedding day, it was really important to me that we find one who doesn't over edit their photos, and to find someone who doesn't stage every single picture that is taken of you that day. Upon first meeting Michelle, she was so down to earth and it felt like we had been talking to a person we had known for years, not someone who we had just met for the first time. After reviewing her work and seeing her style of photography, we knew she was the perfect photographer for us! When we did our engagement session with Michelle, my husband and I were so nervous - but Michelle had a way of... -

Heidi Sent on 12/27/2017LOVE LOVE LOVE Michelle's work! Her photos are seriously more beautiful than real life itself. From the beginning of the process until the end, Michelle was professional, kind and funny. If you prefer capturing real, raw moments and value high quality, artistic style photos, Michelle is where it's at. Her photos pop just the right amount, in just the right way. She was worth absolutely every penny. -

Her experience shows in the photos!
Michelle's photos were a story of our chemistry as a couple. I do not say that lightly since my wedding day was filled with drama! Michelle's experience, vision, and up front honesty about the light/venue/etc helped us capture the really special moments that reflected the underlying love of the day. When I look through my album, I re live all of the positive moments of the day and can envision the venue and flowers as if it was yesterday! I would highly recommend! -

Perfection
Everything about Michelle was absolutely amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced as well as genuine, professional, and communicative. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish and truly knows what she’s doing. We are so obsessed with our wedding photos and albums. She has a unique and artistic approach to her work and it made our entire wedding experience. Could not have made a better choice for our wedding. Thanks so much Michelle! -

Professional- knowledgeable- timeless photos
We chose Michelle through a recommendation of one of my bridesmaids. Due to her years of experience, she was incredibly organized and helped to keep us on schedule throughout the day. Her pictures really helped to capture the essence of the day and we will cherish them forever. She also got the pictures back to us within a month, which I consider to be a very impressive turn-around time. -

Made the process easy!
Our entire experience with Michelle was fantastic from start to finish, which was a good 3 years. We were drawn to her because of the style of photos, and her ability to tell such a strong story with the candid shots. Our engagement shoot, my husband was very uncomfortable, but she put him at ease and soon had him smiling in all the photos (which is no easy feat)! We then had the misfortune of the Covid pandemic forcing us to postpone, but Michelle was with us every step of the way, through 3 wedding dates, 2 venues, all culminating in one long awaited and very easy day. Between the toddlers, two family members in wheelchairs, and unseasonably cold... -
